About Us

Rosie Jonasson remembers visiting her godmother 20 years ago in Italy. She owned a little store that only sold socks. It was that visit that inspired her to open a shop of her own. At c&c you’ll find a mix of bath and bedroom decor, kitchenware, handcrafted fashion, jewellery shoes and yes even socks.

Rosie grew up in an Italian home where her mother Giuseppina Chiatto always had fabulous meals and everything was home-made. It`s the reason Castles and Cottages carries a collection of funky, functional, and innovative kitchenware and culinary supplies

Rosie Jonasson`s grandpa raised 8 children in a small town in Italy. He was a musician and a shoemaker. his name was Florindo Palermo. its the reason why c&c carries a collection of European designs and hand-made leather boots and shoes.

We have so much for you to discover! – the ultimate store for living and giving

Rosie Jonasson – Owner

“I’d rather snuggle animals than eat them”

Born in Italy, Rosie has definitely brought a European influence to the store. Her grandfather raised 8 children making shoes for a living, that it why the shore contains an impressive selection of beautiful handmade boots and shoes. Her mother was a phenomenal cook which has inspired her to bring in products that will release anybody’s inner chef. Another of her passions is yoga, which inspired healthy and peaceful products that, no matter how small, make a difference in the world. “When there’s a will there’s a way” is her motto for life

Brenda the fashionista is the go to girl if you want to look good. We are all super inspired to look nice if we’re working with Brenda. She is extremely kind hearted and her favourite thing in the store is to help people feel good about themselves. She might be small but she’s mighty; from heels to runners, she is always full of energy.
